How to Run Java Script File?

[bistrader]

I have tried and tried but can not figure out how to run a Javascript file. Assume you have myexample.js in your C:\MyStuff folder. I tried with run and could not get it to work. Then, I tried with runwait and still no success. Please provide how to get myexample.js to work when in c:\mystuff folder.

Run("C:\MyStuff\myexample.js") ; does not run

RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & "myexample.js", "C:\MyStuff") ; also does not run

Thanks

I do not think that you will be able to do it with a run command - the way to test this would be to use the windows key + R to bring up the pop up and type your command in there - if it works then you should be able to use RUN() or RunWait().

Everytime I have used Javascript it has been in an html page and called it from there. That is why I think if you had any chance it would have to be with IE.au3, but because I have not used it yet, I am not sure. Someone else would have to answer.

You can also try using the "start" command to run a file with the shell assiosiation. (start somefile.js)

Thanks. I tried the following and it works fine. Thanks for the hints.

RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c start " & "MyExample.js", "C:\MyStuff\", @SW_HIDE)
